Une des grandes nouveaut\u00e9s dans notre mat\u00e9riel, c\u2019est la tente de
forage. Le carottier lui meme fait Presque 5m de haut, et ce n\u2019est pas
facile de trouver une tente assez grande pour lui. Souvent, on fait un
trou dans le toit de la tente. Cette fois ci, on a d\u00e9couvert un nouveau
type de tente: une tente gonflable. Mais on ne sait pas trop comment
elle va tenir au vent, et justement, notre site d\u2019\u00e9tude est tr\u00e8s
venteux. On a donc install\u00e9 la tente pour la tester, et on l\u2019a laiss\u00e9e
dehors toute la nuit. Malheureusement, un des pilliers s\u2019est d\u00e9gonfl\u00e9,
mais on a appris des choses sur comment la monter plus efficacement. Et
surtout, on s\u2019est rendu compte qu\u2019il allait falloir la prot\u00e9ger du vent
par un mur de neige. Un mur de 5m de haut, ca fait beaucoup, mais il
faut trouver la meilleure m\u00e9thode, sachant qu\u2019un mur va aussi g\u00e9nerer
des cong\u00e8res (de l\u2019accumulation de neige). Il nous faut encore r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir
un peu \u00e0 l\u2019organisation des diff\u00e9rents \u00e9lements de notre camp.

The newest piece of gear we have is the drilling tent. The drill itself
is close to 5m tall, and it\u2019s not easy to find a tent that is big enough
for it. Often time, we buy a tent, but then need to make a hole in the
roof for the drill that sticks out. This time, we found a new type of
tent: a tent that we blow like a kitesurf wing. Only we don\u2019t know how
well it will handle in the wind, and we are going to a very windy place.
So yesterday, we installed the tent to see how well it would fare
through the night. Unfortunately, this morning, one of the legs was
flat, but we learned how to set it up more efficiently, and we also
figured out that we needed to protect it from the wind with a wall. A 5m
wall would be really huge, attracting snow drifts, and we still need to
think about the best set up for our camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
